Through the years, I felt abused and traumatized by previous dentists, who would take out their life frustrations while manhandling me with sudden thrusting, bone-hitting, excruciatingly painful anestesia injections. Then I was blessed to experience Dr. Ho's special technique, in which he uses a special angle or ideal pressure or magic to deliver the injection so that it almost feels pleasant. That coupled with the time Dr. Ho's Office Manager, Char, pointed out how timing certain dental procedures to coincide with insurance coverage renewal would save me over a thousand dollars, made me feel so lucky to have been accepted as a patient. And when considering the unbelievable courtesy and warm professionalism of the rest of his staff, I'm sorry for being reluctant to write an honest review until now. Just being selfish. read more

I'm sure this doctor is a superior dentist but I definitely felt uninvited on my 2nd call to try and reschedule an appointment. And when I tried to reschedule they did everything to not schedule me in, first they tried pushing me 2 months out hoping I'd just say no, but when I accepted to their surprise, they quickly changed doctors to some other doctor I don't even know, then when I asked for Dr Ho, suddenly he became unavailable... it's just too obvious come on now.. On my first visit Dr Ho didn't even greet me or just say Hi. I was a business owner for 12 years and that's definitely not how I treated my clients. I'm not a number, I'm a human being who is reaching out to get help from a doctor who apparently won't even talk to you if you don't have your X rays done.. what is this a military boot camp come on? Saying hello only takes less than a minute and if it's not in your heart to give another human being just 1 minute of your time then I definitely think you shouldn't be working on my teeth. I feel this office prioritizes money & time over wanting to genuinely help people. So much for this referral, congratulations on you being the best dentist in town I'll look elsewhere. read more

I am delighted to be back in town and blessed today to have my overdue cleaning done! Thank you, Char for getting me in! Due to my lengthy travels, I was concerned about the needed cleaning and examination but hearing of negative dental experiences my son had in two other states, I decided to wait until I can get back into Doctor Ho and his assistants' trusted hands. In fact, my son is planing a far trip from East Coast to tend to his dental needs at Doctor's Ho, because he says there is no one out there he trusts anymore and no one out there (visited 4 professionals) that of Doctor Ho expertise, manner, knowledge, and ability. In retrospect, the best part we both perceive, is Doctor's Ho genuine concern for his patients and desire to bring about the best course of action. We experienced his outstanding care in the far past, resolving previous extensive needs. My husband and a friend or two are also his happy patients. It was an amazing experience, today, despite the discovery of a deep cavity, which Doctor Ho gracefully reminded me to be optimistic about. He has a way to put people at ease; I so appreciated his gentle comment! It felt good to have my teeth gently cleaned at last while hearing joyful laughter from another room. What a great team working with delight creating happy, relaxed atmosphere - a dental spa, I say. I am looking forward to fixing what's needed and once again thank you for all you do. I appreciate from the bottom of my heart. read more

Thankyou Dr Ho and the amazing staff for making me feel welcome and confident in the care I'm receiving every time.

WOW!!!! 100+ stars! I am absolutely so impressed with Dr. Ho and his crew. He is the perfect mix of professional and personal.

His equipment is state of the art, newest on the market. His methods of treatment are respectable as he seeks to fully inform the patient of the problems and the procedures necessary to remedy them. I am glad to find a dentist I look forward to visiting. I'm glad his excellent work is publicly recognized, as displayed on the walls of his office. A++++ dentist of the year, every year, and my dentist for life. Highly recommend! read more

New patient of Dr. Ho that went in for a cleaning before getting some cosmetic work done. They could not have been nicer or more professional. Jenna did the cleaning and she was awesome! It had been over a year since i had a cleaning and some of my teeth required deep cleaning/scaling. While many dental offices charge extra for that service, they did not and Jenna spent the entire appt cleaning, then polishing, then touching up any missed places. My teeth were almost white by the end. That is back breaking work that takes a ton of precision. Thank you!! read more

I've heard very good things about Dr. Ho from my husband who has been going to him for years. I recently I had an appointment with him, and I must say I'm greatly impressed. He told me that I likely did not need a root canal, and he certainly could have said otherwise. They saved me quite a bit of money. It turned out I had a sinus issue. It's nice to have a dentist that you trust and respect. read more

I have been receiving dental services from Dr. Stephen Ho for numerous years and I am extremely satisfied with everything he and his wonderful staff has done for me.

Initially, I came to Dr. Ho with multiple dental issues and he has patiently guided me on how to correct and fix my dental problems. I highly recommend Dr. Stephen Ho for all ages. His office is centrally-located in Honolulu at a safe and convenient location. read more

"Best dental implant doctor " I don't usually write anything. However I have been to many dentist in Hawaii and was very disappointed. Your just a rotating number and its just about the money. Docter Ho is hands on and personally takes care of you. He also has a excellent staff! I did two implants and he did a excellent job. Professional and detailed! I trust Doctor Ho!!! read more

Stephen R Ho, DDS - What an awesome surprise; a $50 dollar Gift card to Cheesecake Factory, my favorite restaurant! Thank you, Dr. Ho! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dr. Ho, Cathy and Char are hands down, THE BEST. (I haven't met any of his other staff but I'm sure they're just as amazing) I have a major fear of the dentist and they have made my experience there so amazing. From the first phone call, Char has been nothing but sweet and so accommodating. Dr. Ho is so gentle and doesn't force you into anything. He explains everything and makes me feel so comfortable. His assistant Cathy is so sweet!! She didn't make me feel awkward for having such a sensitive "gag reflex". She made me feel "normal". LOL. They are all so patient and kind. At the end of my first visit, I got a cute clear pouch with a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss. And after opening, I was surprised to see a STARBUCKS GC for my birthday!! And after today's visit, I was surprised with yet another sweet goody bag!! Cup noodle, caprisun, tea and Advil since my procedure was a bit more extensive. Like, WHAT?! What dentist does this for their patients!! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Ho to anyone and everyone looking for a dentist. read more

Dental assistant and Dr Ho were very nice, professional and considerate.They asked me how I'm doing a few times during the procedure and I appreciate their efforts to make me feel comfortable. I definitely recommend Dr Ho and his clinic! read more

Dr. Ho has high tech equipment and uses the latest up to date advanced dental procedures. I always feel safe and comfortable and "at ease" in his immaculate office. I thank God for Dr. Ho and his wonderful, competent and friendly staff!! read more

Dr. Ho and his crew is the best!! I've been seeing them for years... more than 20 at least. But my recent procedure (2years now) has changed my life literally. He did an implant and veneers on my top front teeth and it turned out so well. I never would smile or like to take pictures, but I sure do now. Sometimes I forget that I had anything done until I get compliments like wow you have a beautiful smile or you have perfect teeth. I smile more now instead of looking like a grouch, even though I'm still insecure about the rest of my body but that's a whole other story lol. But if you are looking for a new Dentist or need any cosmetic dental work done, you definitely won't be disappointed with Dr. Ho. TRUST ME! I could go on and on about this review but I'm the middle of running errands so just had to put that out there. ;-) read more

My wife introduced me to Dr Ho and his team about 9-10 years ago now and I don't trust anyone else with my dental needs. All the staff is very accommodating and friendly! Dr Ho will have two more customers once my kids get older! read more

Dr. Ho is awesome and has done a great job with the bondings on my front teeth after I chipped it! I came from Indiana from a dentist who I went to for 20 years and Dr. Ho and his staff makes me feel very comfortable. He got me in for an emergency call as well for a cavity filling. Highly recommend! read more

After my first appointment and the experience that I had, Dr. Ho has my business. Charlene made everything simple and easy. Any questions I had or any information I felt like I was missing she was more than willing to help, and was so patient with me considering I hadn't been to the dentist in a while. I had a teeth cleaning, which the dental assistant had done a wonderful job! She tried very hard to make sure I was as comfortable as possible during both my x-rays and teeth cleaning. After my teeth cleaning was complete Dr. Ho came into the room to discuss/explain to me the status of my teeth and what services may need to get done for healthier teeth, which I really appreciated! Clean facility. !Very kind and professional staff! I have other appointments booked with them and would recommend booking in advance as they are usually very busy and popular in the area. read more

BEST dental experience I've ever had! I got a cleaning and a filling done, the entire staff is extremely warm and welcoming. Absolutely 0 wait time when you have an appointment, I literally didn't even have to sit in the waiting room, they were ready for me as soon as I walked through the door. During my cleaning I told the doctor I was nervous about my filing because Ive had an experience with another dentist that didn't use enough numbing. Dr.Stephen remembered my concerns and used a little extra numbing and I felt nothing at all. The filling was done extremely quickly, the doctor and assistant seemed to read each other minds! They worked like a well oiled machine it was amazing. Highly highly recommend! read more

Always a great experience with the Doctor very soft spoken and detailed. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Thank you ! read more

The most thorough new patient exam I've ever had. Right on time...no waiting!!! Dr. Ho was very thoughtful and thoroughIy explained my exam. Hygienist, assistants, and front desk staff were very kind....added bonus is that they didn't use the hydrosonic water cleaning which I don't like. read more

My grandmother in law and my husband go to Dr. Ho. I had seen him right after I moved to Hawaii back in 2003, when my old filling came off. I got a new porcelain filing. After that I was not able to go to him for while as he does not take HMSA. I finally got HDS and started to see him again. I just had my cavity fixed with a porcelain. My previous doctor did not do good jobs and I got "dentist-phobia" because of that doctor!! I had pain for a while after I had a silver filing. But Dr. Ho does great job always. I'm thinking of doing whitening next time. read more

Stephen R Ho, DDS - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was in search of a dentist & referred to Dr. Ho by a friend. Called the office and greeted over the phone by Char who was very pleasant~. Yes, a great first impression over the phone, full of Aloha. By far the most pleasant experience I have had at a dentist office. Dr. Ho and his team - from Char up front to the hygienist (日本語で説明してくれたキョコ-さん) - were so friendly and professional. Not to mention I was educated about my teeth and had each step explained along the way. Couldn't be any happier...definitely recommend. Had my teenage son scheduled there as well ! ~mt read more

Corona Virus Update!!!! I am a happy patient of Dr. Ho's and his team. I had some very necessary dental work that needed to be done, some repair work that could have gotten worse in time.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ho's for over ten years and incidentally found his office after searching for nearby providers while on a travel contract for work. Although my time in Honolulu ended after a few years, I have remained a loyal patient traveling from the north shore in Waialua for all my dental needs. I recently finished Invisalign with Dr. Ho and couldn't be happier with my results and new smile! The Invisalign process was easier than I thought, and appointments were easily tailored around my work schedule. Dr. Ho comprehensively explains before and after procedure work and truly cares about the dental health of his patients. The staff is always informative, welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. Overall, I have had a great experience with the care I have received and would highly recommend Dr. Ho and his dental office to anyone needing a new provider that will strive to meet their needs. read more
